Latest Wordpress upgrade went very smoothly, and the list of changes can be found here. So far, it looks pretty much the same (and WP2.6 is not supposed to break any themes or plugins). I’ve noticed the subtle word count that updates with each autosave, and it’s probably good that it doesn’t update [...]

Need $15K

I have a new goal in life. Apparently you can get new species named after you if you raise the money.
In 2005, the Wildlife Conservation Society raised $650,000 for a new monkey species in Bolivia. The primate was named after the highest bidder, Internet casino GoldenPalace.com, known for all sorts of oddball purchases including [...]

In the never-ending quest to make this blog more user-friendly, I’ve shortened the amount of each post that is displayed on the front page.
SS!AB Updated to WP 2.5
3/31/2008 – 6:31 pm
Like a Gundam getting the Trans-Am system, the blog has been upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 today. So far everything seems to work, and most of the plugin issues were easily resolved. The only bug I’ve seen so far is that the Dashboard link leads to a mostly blank page, but going to /wp-admin/ [...]

Happy New Year’s Day to everyone, and I’m happy to say that Sea Slugs! Anime Blog has now been going for 4 years! This year actually saw several new features that I hope improved the site for everyone.
Redesigned Layout: Now that the new blog smell has faded, hopefully the new layout continues to work [...]

Sea Slugs! Winter Giveaway Contest

Wow, this site is nearing the 4 year mark, so I wanted to do something special since that’s like 1,000 years old in internet years. After my experiences as both a sponsor and a winner last month, I’ve learned that people like relevant contests and relevant prizes. With that said, I am giving [...]
Commenting Issues
11/29/2007 – 10:10 am
Stripey and Zyl alerted me last night that there were some issues with commenting. I had been trying a new plugin to automatically moderate pingbacks, but I think the new plugin didn’t play very well with SK2. Oh well, back to moderating pingbacks from new splogs by hand.
The error message received was:
WordPress Error: [...]

Incredibly, another interviewee has grabbed the latest win, as the 7,000th comment was left by none other than Totali.
Instructions: Leave a comment with a character and pose/situation and I’ll do my best to draw your request. Standard turnaround time is 1.5 months, possibly more if I am not familiar with the character/series. I was [...]
Updated to 2.3.1
10/27/2007 – 3:59 am
Updated from 2.3 to 2.3.1. Doesn’t seem like anything changed, and Wordpress has really made the upgrading process a lot easier. I just dragged everything but the wp-content folder in, and that was that.
Re-redesign
10/22/2007 – 1:29 am
Although it looks rather similar to the previous redesign, the CSS is actually completely rebuilt and customized. I have to say I have a huge amount of love for the Sandbox theme, which is about as mod-able as any theme can be. This redesign took a lot of time and energy, but I [...]
